To prove myself in the industry and put skin the game I have been using my own funds to finance my rehabs.  In 2021 I have vowed to find private / individuals to lend to me.  I want to help others make money and this will allow me to hit my 10-12 property purchase goal this year, too.  I planned on buying 12 in 2020 and bought 8, because of Covid and I tied up the funds I had personally.  I talk the talk and walk the walk, however, honestly, I am just not an internet / forum knowledgable person.  There are so many intelligent, successful people here it gives me hope others can help me perfect a strategy to connect with people on BP that want to lend in first position ASAP.

@Kim Martorana BP is a very nice place to ask questions, share experience and know new friends. But if you are trying to find private money lenders, I would suggest go local - go to local Real estate meetups, ask realtor who may know local private lenders.
